Description
Released in 2022 as part of the New Capenna expansion, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card belongs to the Commander subset and carries the set code NCC with card number 140. Designed by Ernanda Souza, the card is a rare black enchantment that offers a distinct strategic interaction for players. Its mana cost of {2}{B} makes it an accessible inclusion in mono-black or dimir decks, providing consistent value through its upkeep trigger. The card’s text box instructs players to reveal the top card of their library during each opponent’s turn. That player may pay life equal to the revealed card’s mana value to exile it; otherwise, the card goes into their hand. This mechanic creates a dynamic exchange of resources, making Protection Racket a compelling addition for collectors who appreciate unique gameplay loops. As a rare card from a highly regarded set, it appeals to those building specialized Commander decks or completing New Capenna collections. Whether used in casual play or sought after for its design, this card represents a solid piece of modern Magic history.
